Citzen Science:Take Action at Earth Action Day!

Hi everyone, Nancy here.

Lacy and I are off to Chapel Hill today to Southern Community Park for it's Earth Action Day. This is our first time at the festival and we are really looking forward to it.

Earth Action Day celebrates sustainable living. The festival is full of interactive exhibits and demonstrations, live entertainment, and local food. The event is from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

We will be in the children's area and we will be talking about the Museum's campus-wide composting efforts and we're bringing along some Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches to help talk about how animals are helpful as decomposers. We'll also show you how to make a reusable Butterfly Feeder using materials you can find around the home!

Well, back to packing for the event. Stop by and see us and hit us up on the blog with some of the actions and ideas your class or family are doing for Earth Day.

Stay tuned and stay curious,
-Nancy
